Radek Sefcik"I first heard about the excellent Bill Cole know-how from my coach Rodney King, so it was natural for me to check him out right away. Well, what can I say after JUST a couple of months of intensive coaching and the IMGCA education process? Simply brilliant stuff and outstanding overall approach!!! I immediately have been able to apply all the material in action, during special operations (police, military) training camps, and while coaching professional elite soccer players, and other world-class athletes.

Moreover, the IMGCA message is getting spread here in Slovakia like wild fire, and now even pro elite coaches are starting to pay attention (based on awesome results which they see first hand in action every day). I am starting to work with these coaches as well. I once again highly recommend you contact Bill Cole and see first hand about his fantastic know how. It has been one of the best investments I have ever made. You can give a gift to yourself to reach your full potential! Go for it."

Alan Kane"My name is Alan Kane and I took the level I IMGCA mental game coaching with founder Bill Cole. I have been in a clinical Kinesiology practice for many years and also hold 2nd degree black belt in Korean martial arts. I have practiced martial arts for over 20 years. My passion is helping people to relieve pain from their body and improve performance, on physical, mental and emotional levels.

I undertook the training to broaden my knowledge of the mental game of "Life". I found the training and one to one coaching with Bill Cole to be absolutely without doubt excellent. I was able to gain a great understanding from our calls with Bill each week.

Bill is an expert in his field and can pitch the training at just the right level for each student. I found he met me perfectly with where I was on my learning and helped to accelerate me to certification very quickly.

I found the website material and archives to provide endless material for reference and also to help formulate trainings for my clients. Without any hesitation if you are interested in learning about mental game coaching this is the place to be, stop your search now and get on to the programme."

"The IMGCA Certification program has probably been the best investment I have ever made in terms of wanting to learn a practical way to teach the mental game. My time with Bill Cole was extremely enjoyable and productive. Not only did he help me understand the mental game further, but more importantly, he helped me outline a step by step approach to working with athletes. It only took a few minutes into the first training session for me to know that Bill Cole is committed to helping you excel as a coach.

Another wonderful aspect of the program was the fact that it wasn't a cookie cutter, one size fits all program. Bill worked with me one-on-one to be sure that he met me at the point of my need. The tips, strategies, and handouts that are provided only added an extra touch to an already great program. This certification will pay for itself if you simply apply what you learn throughout the training.

The IMGCA Certification program exceeded my expectations and I fully recommend it to anybody who is or wants to become a Mental Game Coach."

"My IMGCA mental game certification training program has taught me, among many other lessons, that everything I do and say as a coach and teacher influences the behavior of the young athletes I have been given the privilege to work with. With Bill Cole's expert guidance I have become a more effective leader, communicator and coach/teacher-his mentorship has proven to be invaluable in my quest to develop confidence, focus and mental discipline in the young football players I work with. And in developing these mental skills the players have improved their on-field performance, which has equated to more success as a team-and they have also begun to transfer these skills to other areas of their lives, such as academics and social relations.

It has also provided me the tools to train other coaches to do the same with their players. As a result, I was asked to speak at a youth football coaches meeting, and have been asked to host a coaching clinic next spring. I have also been asked to speak to the coaches and players of a youth Lacrosse team, which tells me that IMGCA philosophies and mental training methods transcend any particular sport and can help both players and coaches develop skills and set and achieve goals that bring success both on an individual and team basis.

I've never met a coach who denied the relationship between an athlete's mental approach and his/her performance in practice and competition, and I strongly encourage and recommend the IMGCA certification program as a means to teaching themselves, other coaches, and the athletes they work with how to put the two together. English philosopher Alfred North Whitehead once said that "education is the acquisition of the art of the utilization of knowledge". Whether you've been coaching for 20 years or have just begun, Bill Cole and IMGCA certification training can and will help you utilize cutting-edge mental game approaches and make you a better coach."

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am to have gone through the IMGCA Certification process with you. As a past professional athlete, I wish I would have been smart enough to realize the benefits of the mental game. I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned from you in our in-depth conversations. Your expertise in the subject I really believe is among the very best. Your program was very beneficial in that I wasn't just given a manual and told to fill it out as I see in some certification classes. I was very interested in the process of learning and implementing the mental game and you have done a fantastic job in covering all the bases. I know this certification will put me on the right path to be able to teach the skills necessary for my students to achieve higher success in reaching their ultimate dreams. Thanks again for all your help!"
